ru sure about that?^
First of all I want to say awesome job for getting on a program and staying dedicated. I agree that you should try to balance out your legs and upper body but I think it will just happen naturally, even if you lifts just as hard on legs as you do for upper body. I've always read that doing heavy squate increases testosterone in the body and will help in overall strength. I know when I first started weight training seriously for high school football my squats/dead lifts/power cleans shot up in weight much more quickly than my bench. No disrespect to you Vasille but aren't your legs supposed to be significantly stronger than your upper body anyway? given that they are much larger muscles. One thing that I see is that you're extremely regimented with the reps that you do for all of your lifts. While it's good to keep a solid schedule I think it might help you to work out with more intensity. If you don't have a lifting partner as of yet I would highly recommend finding one because it can do a lot to help with motivation and those extra couple reps he can help you pump out can do a lot for making gains. Keep up the work and dedication and i'm sure you'll see more gains.
